Fighting would be increased manifold and it would be much organized in the next few months,said Taliban chief Mullah Muhammad Omar in his message on the eve of Eid-ul-Fitr. Spokesman of Taliban guerrillas Dr Muhammad Hanif emailed the message to the Afghan Islamic Press. This message is as under:
Message on the eve of Eid to the Muslim Ummah, Mujahideen in bunkers, the Afghan Muslim and Mujahid nation. I would recall that this is the 5th 'Eid-ul-Fitr' we are celebrating it in a situation when our homeland is under the occupation of Americans. I want to congratulate you on Eid that is greetings on the defeat of aggressors, who are on the run. I want to make it clear that the puppet of aggressors (Karzai) and his associates are searching for exit. We will never give them exit. They will be brought to Islamic justice. And everyone is well aware of the strength of our court. Our enemy has faced defeat despite his misleading programmes.
Their move about democracy has also failed. The aggressors released fake films to malign and weaken us. They spent millions of dollars on media campaign but our Muslim nation is aware of it. The enemy propaganda has achieved nothing and the nation is behind us. The Kabul puppet regime has failed to establish peace and stability as well as to control narcotics. The regime has also not succeeded in maintaining unity. The government cannot maintain peace as Hamid Karzai has recruited thieves and looters in his armed militias.
The puppet regime has failed to control narcotics because most of Karzai government members are drug smugglers. The country's unity is in danger because the rulers are themselves trying to divide the country. The Kabul administration is composed of elements that are trying to convince the people for division of the country. Alien culture and faiths are being imposed on Kabul. Those who are ruling Afghans, in fact, are aliens as they have returned to Afghanistan with foreign culture and ideas and they feel ashamed to adopt their own culture.
The Soviets also imposed such puppets as rulers during their occupation. They were Afghans but they did not have any Afghan mentality and feelings. The Soviets had a point that Afghans have invited them for the development of the country. The Soviets had the backing of Warsaw Bloc members as the Americans today have the support of NATO members. But I am confident as the former Soviets despite backing of Warsaw faced disintegration.
The Americans would face the same fate despite the NATO support. Today all the NATO members are loosing their soldiers only for America. They must think of their own interest and should quit Afghanistan. If someone looks towards the United Nations decisions then I would say that the UN during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan had not taken any bold decision. Now the same organization endorses every decision of the Americans and it has no capability. The incompetence and weak role has created an impression that any country, which has atomic and weapons of mass destruction, they can only defend themselves from America and they don't have any peaceful option.
This is the failure of the United Nations that it cannot stop American military action. If we look into the UN since its birth, it has not taken any positive decision to resolve Islamic problems. Islamic world has not achieved anything from the United Nations. The UN has not played any positive role so far about Palestine, Iraq and Kashmir and even if it has taken any decision, it has not been implemented. It is believed that this organization has not helped the Islamic world. If the Muslim Ummah did not standby Mujahideen and could not strengthen its defence, they will face humiliation at the hands of anti-Islamic forces. Those Muslim rulers who are following America in humiliating and weakening of Muslims, they must be aware that America will not save them from the rage of the Muslims. Muslims would lay heavy hands on them. They must realize to stop betrayal of Muslim Ummah.
I advise my Muslim and Mujahid nation to show patience and strong determination in resistance against aggressors. They should not be mislead by the enemy propaganda. Our enemy is in a state of confusion. The enemy is trying to hide its disappointment. That's why they are leveling allegations against the Mujahideen. For example they are saying that Pakistan is supporting Taliban. You are aware that America used Pakistani airfields for attack on Afghanistan. Missiles were fired from Pakistani territory. Pakistani government handed over thousands of Mujahideen to America and even now all Pakistan's transport routes and airfields are facilitating American war. In my opinion those, who have a mind, would not accept the notion of Pakistan support for Taliban. I believe that Karzai and his foreign friends are aware that Taliban don't have any foreign support and that they have launched propaganda to create mistrust among Afghans who are resisting the aggressors.
The enemy is also trying to hide their weaknesses and give some other colour to their defeat. With the grace of Allah the fighting would be increased manifold and it would be much organized in the next few months. Our previous predictions were not incorrect.
I am confident that the fighting would be a surprise for many. I advise the Mujahideen to maintain unity in their ranks as rift in their ranks had affected jihad against the Soviets. Afghans must take care of unity in Jihad.
I would again ask Mujahideen to intensify their attacks but they should avoid any harm to innocent people and children. They should not commit any act which is contrary to Shariah. It is necessary for Mujahideen not to go for sectarian hatred. All Muslims of different schools of thought are brothers and there is no difference among them. At the end I appeal to Mujahideen to show patience. I pray for the Mujahideen in Iraq and their more success.
Mullah Omar Mujahid, the Amir-ul-Momineen
